Good points. They should try to hold onto both the radars & UHF. Instead focus on how to reduce maintenance costs. We have to get out of this ‘everything will be fine always, forever’ attitude especially when it comes to critical infrastructure like this. Covid has taught us this. Orange man bad has taught us this. Is the bureaucracy not listening?

Blakely, bureaucracy is operating on out of date instructions. As bureaucracy tends to do, and politicians tend to be unaware of until a crisis. Institutional malaise is almost inevitable, And often takes a very specific, narrow focused crisis to break free of it

If there is indeed no backup system, that is a very bad thing in life critical systems. Much more needs to be written and exposed.
